PSI ENGINEERING CASE STUDY

Material Handling Automation Case Study | PDFS | PSI Engineering

Before PDFS System

The order fulfillment and material handling was a manual process at the company.

Product orders were physically scanned by the packager. An invoice was printed and inserted into the shipping bag along with the marketing materials (magazines, postcards etc) and the garment.

The packager would physically seal the bag by hand, then print and attach the shipping label. The finished bag was then placed back on the conveyor line and sent to the shipping department.

Each person could pack between 50-60 orders per hour.

After Implementing PDFS System

The dynamic Product and Document Fulfillment System (PDFS) completely automated the distribution process of their individual customer orders.

The system only requires one operator and has an output of 1000 orders per hour (net). Huge labor savings and efficiency gains were realized by PSI’s customer.
